Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Mérida?
Gross bookings per Mérida listing averaged MX$172,195 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Mexico average: MX$218,840), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mérida listing brings in MX$25,100 in December, its best month, and MX$14,600 in September, its slowest. January runs within 5% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$48,800+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$26,400 or more, roughly MX$13,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$13,100 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$6,000 or less, about 46% of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Mérida Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mérida Airbnb took in MX$172,195 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$10,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about MX$20,300 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$11,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$10,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$8,600 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Mérida's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Mérida listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 41% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,020 adds about MX$10,200 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,720 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,020. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about MX$16,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$25,100, against MX$14,600 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Mérida listings average 4.76 stars, and 37% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about MX$28,900 a month, against MX$14,300 for the average one.
